【迷你小对话】

　　A: What’s the matter with you? Were you born in a barn?

　　B: What are you talking about? I’m behaving.

　　A: You walked in here and left the door open, you took the only seat and left grandma standing, and now you have put your feet up on my table.

　　B: Oh! Sorry. I guess I just forgot my manners.

　　A: 你怎么搞的?这么没有教养?

　　B: 你在说什么?我规规矩矩的。

　　A: 你进来了，也不关门;就一把凳子，你坐着却让奶奶站着，现在还把脚放到我的桌子上。

　　B: 噢，不好意思。失礼了。
